Ever since their comeback win against Utah, the Sharks have been a legit top 16 team in the league. If you exclude empty net goals, they haven’t lost by more than 2 goals in that span, with an overall record of 10-6-3. Can’t believe how much better the team is since last year.
I’m a Wild fan and I think you’re getting ahead of yourself. On paper the Jets are one of, if not the, most balanced teams. They have insane depth throughout their lineup. The NHL, and every pro sports league except the MLB (which is the most trash pay to win league) has so much parity it’s insane. Any team can win on any night. The Jets are just going through a rough stretch. They will be fine.
I think we as sharks fans expected a better team this year, but Celebrini is just surpassing all our expectations. Some smart moves in the off season and this team could make playoffs next year!
All they really need to do depending one what they do with Granlund is add defense. If they can sign two quality or maybe one upper level and one solid defensemen then I think they will be in contention for a playoff spot. Which is why I hope they resign Granlund or maybe both sides can get something like San Jose trades him gets assets yet Granlund just signs back with them in the offseason. I mean if they can somehow keep playing like they have been it's not out of the realm of possibility they could sneak into a WC spot. Yea chances are slim but right now only like 5 pts back sure they have played more games then those teams but since the 9 game losing streak they are 9-4-3 if they keep posting that type record the rest of the way it wouldn't be shocking to see them sneak in.
Very impressive performance on the road by the Blues tonight. They played very well defensively. They got some good poke checks that resulted in turnovers. Hofer had a very good performance in his hometown. Hofer did a very good job of controlling rebounds, whether covering the puck or moving the puck out of dangerous areas. It's a good start to a road trip against 4 good teams.
@@Lukewipf442 The Jets were 9-1 with a 5 game home winning streak going into the game. The Blues beat Hellebuyck, who had very good numbers in his career against the Blues.
I gotta say that OT from the MN Van game was probably the most action packed crazy overtime ive ever seen. I agree that Kirill had a tripping call missed but it was still bonkers to watch (mn fan)
The yank coverage is usually awful. One actually good thing about Sportsnet is we get Jack and Louie commenting over the Oilers games and they are excellent
Man ESPN and TNT have not been great this year, i'm super spoiled with the Kraken's KHN broadcasting team, but every now when there's a national game and i have to suffer through those commentators, it's rough. They really like to pick a team, or a singular player and just focus on them the entire time, and if the team they're not focused on is doing something, they'll go off on a lonnng yarn about some stupid story of a wedding they attended 30 years ago for 2 minutes until they get an opportunity to talk about their chosen team. Sorry guys, i know it's a tall order to match up to John Forslund and Edzo, but you guys can at least TRY to be partial.
If it takes four minutes of replay to determine a guy was offisde, we've lost the plot. I agree with Ray Ferraro that there needs to be a time limit. The rule was made because Matt Duchene was 15ft offside, now we're blowing up pixels to see a dot of white. There has to be a middle ground.
@@dealy9268just about every penalty is. Excluding fans of the two teams playing, look at the disagreement on penalties called/ not called on any given night.
Eichel and Mcdavid played out tonight even if they were held off the score sheet. They kept each other in check and Hill looking back to his old self for a game. Go Knights Go!
pity he doesn't have a playable backup, to give him a rest once in a while. this year was primeau's big chance to show what he could do, whether he could challenge monty for top spot or forever be deemed a career backup. right now he might actually be the worst goalie in the league. problem is, he needs waivers to go down, and the habs are scared he'll be claimed. might be worth doing though, we can bring dobes up and give him a shot. if we need an AHL goalie to take his place, send dvorak to the flyers for petersen and a pick. monty...is at least keeping this team relevant. he's actually an NHL goalie. he's still a stopgap though. fowler is still the future.
Fantastic effort by the Canucks tonight, and one of the most entertaining hockey games I’ve watched this season. Unfortunate that it’s tainted by some absolutely ridiculous officiating but saw that one coming a mile away when I learned Kelly Sutherland was reffing this one. A shame that they couldn’t secure the win, but the fact that it feels like they deserved to win in a game against the #1 team in the league while at the end of a long road trip is really something. Love it.
@@Lazzar1958 It's a shame because aside from that it was an amazing hockey game. Both teams played fantastic, it was so evenly matched and so exciting.
Monty showed tonight why he's good enough to be Canada's 3rd goalie at the very least (LeBrun said on RDS he should be the 3rd goalie announced tomorrow).
After three loses in a row (one to Anaheim, two to San Jose), Bylsma shook up the lines in a very creative way tonight against Carolina: he benches the underperforming Burakovsky, moved both Beniers and Gourde to the wings (instead of at center), and move Tanev up to the first line. While Daccord was good, this is one of the few wins this season where his performance wasn't the main reason. IMHO, this game was a must win for us and the team stepped up. Now let's see what we can do against the Islanders, Devils, and Rangers on this road trip. Go Kraken! ⚓
GOOD GOAL!!!! LOL. But to be honest it didn't matter. The Canes played like crap. Not to take anything away from the Kracken/Suzuki team. They played good. Rod put out some bad line combos and only made only one adjustment. The entire team was off including the coach last night. Well Necas was flying. Kochetkov kept the Canes in it for that really bad 2nd period.
Down 4-0 and Avs twitter was going insane on Georgiev. He's the most inconsistent starter in the league. Also that Celebrini kid is something special. I hope the Sharks keep this going. Would be wild if they ended up sneaking into the playoffs.
I don’t think that I’m being hyperbolic when I say that tonight’s game just dealt a death blow to whatever playoff aspirations the Sabres had left this season. Barring one if not two major trades, I really feel that the season may be awash.
As a sharks fan, I love how much better we are….but honestly we better not be a middle of the road team we need to get another top 3 or 4 pick in the draft we still need the prospects and talent
Rather build a winning culture then tank the rest of the year. Seeing countless franchises suck for years and stock pile picks only to guess what still not be any good like the Sabres and Sens. Blackhawks have had bad records for 7 seasons and this will be their 8th in a row and they look farther out from being a solid team then the Sharks do who just started rebuilding 2 years ago. So would rather see the young kids continue to learn how to win in the NHL and the team build a winning culture. Which can then transition into upper level FA seeing the Sharks playing good hockey already and want to play next to Celebrini and Smit. Right now all I see that they really need to have a shot at the playoffs next year is to add two legit top 2 pairing defensemen that they can pair next to Walman and Lilly. Which then they could slide down Mario and someone else to the 3rd pairing.
Yah another score of 4-1 for my Jets, except it went to the wrong team.. main thing I saw tonight is line combinations with new players mixed with older players, one of which played what was only his 2nd NHL game in his life. Lambert held his own for the most part, I thought but we are badly missing Ehlers and Samberg in the lineup. Our PP has dried up completely and we can't get proper scoring going. Hoping the next few games will right the good ship and get us back on the winning side, this is getting a bit painful to watch. Having said that, we had Hockey fights cancer night tonight in Winnipeg so that always puts things into perspective... and to watch the ceremony from Calgary with the Gaudreau family puts it into perspective even more. We love our hockey but some things are more important... so I'm sending my thoughts and prayers for strength to Meredith and the entire Gaudreau family. Thank you, Shannon.
I wish the Blues had played in the recent home game the way they have in the three road games since Montgomery took over. Still, 7 of 8 points is pretty amazing considering the way they had been playing. Is it just a "coaching bump" or a real lasting change? We'll see. It's certainly stirred interest.
Same old Sabres. This may be the start of the inevitable collapse. I hope I am wrong but I have seen this movie for 13 seasons. This team flirts with .500 so much they should marry it. They never seem to get more than a game or 2 above it.
Thanks for the video! The details of my picks are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? Bruins, yes. Avs, yes. Islanders, nope. Panthers, nope. Caps, nope. Canes, nope. Wild, yes. Jets, nope. Flames, yes. And Knights, yes. So, five out of ten. S Could have flipped a puck. Seemed to be a high amount of goalie interference challenges, most denied and penalized. The Avs comeback was amazing to watch. That sort of heart has playoff deep run potential, IMO. The low scoring of the Oilers-Knights game felt weird. Maybe the Kraken are better than they have been letting on. I was surprised by the amount of Pens scoring but they needed it to beat the champs.
27:47 Note for the VGK Game, Olofsson returned on Saturday's game against Utah, not tonight's game. Otherwise It was a fantastic game to watch in person, definitely got worried in the 3rd period that the Oilers were going to tie the game up. A Fun stat that Sportsnet brought up after the VGK game was that was the first game since the Maple Leafs vs Black Hawks on Feb. 20, 1944 where there was a game with 0 PIM and 1 goal or fewer and only the 5th time in NHL history.
Welp I'm back to having no idea what goaltender interference is. This is the third time it's come up in an Avs game, and I was pleasantly surprised that the last two (one for, one against) were at least called consistently. This one was exactly the same situation, but no GI.
Same in the Canes game. Not one has gone the Canes way. Same looking plays but all go against the Canes. Contact is made outside of the paint first by the goaltender. He has lots of time to reset. If anything it helped the goaltender.
The Habs v Isles game was a fun watch. It was nice to see the Habs play with a healthy lineup. They are still not a good team but some of the pieces of a good team are there
The caps looked WAY off their game tonight. Not sure why but theyre usually a crsup passing hard forechecking team and it just wasnt gelling tonight against the Sharks. All kudos to San Jose who played a reall nice game hemming a much stronger team in their own end several times and came out with the W
As a Canucks fan, I wasn't expecting a win against the wild, that being said I was very impressed by that game, and the road trip as a whole. Hopefully they can bring it home! And hopefully when Demko comes back Arty can spend time in the AHL getting his confidence back up. I know Lankinen will still be starting at least for awhile when Demko comes back, but currently I think everyone, even the team, is nervous when Arty is in the net unfortunately.
Looking at that Buffalo game I guess that is why you up the score (humiliating the opponent's goalie) even it seems you already won. 😧 Huge momentum shift from the second...
I watched the last 2 periods of the Edmonton - Vegas game. Something I found worth noting, at the end, they showed the time the six Oilers players had stayed on the ice. Most of them had 2+ minutes, RNH had over 3 minutes on the ice to end the game.
Adin Hill making a case to be on team Canada. Vegas destroys my nerves when they play defensive hockey with a one goal lead in the 3rd period lol. Was a good game
Totally fair call on Wilson at the end of the Caps game, but it gave the Sharks a one-man advantage for the last two minutes and into overtime. Tough odds there for the Caps. Onward!
When Georgiev gave up 4 so fast I just thought the game was sealed. But I guess being an Avs fan for as long as I have, has tought me nothing about Avs liking comebacks
@@timdowney6721 yeah wedgewood played great. I would love him to be our adin hill but we can't expect him to play like this every night. but if he saved around 90 percent of shots on average we would be contender lol
As a caps fans the sharks looked very impressive and more entertaining in years. Blackwood played really good too. I can’t help but think we just had an off night, but the sharks are a decent team and are beating really good ones.
Worst overturned goal for "Interference" I've seen in a while in that Kraken/Hurricanes game. Add that the to rush that Seattle got for their first goal because the ref tripped one of the Hurricanes and I think the refs had a better game than the Kraken
You guys put barely any shots on net, it was your lowest count in like 4 years or something. If you're going to play the blame game blame your offensive production.
I'm a Canes fan. Yes both bad calls but the Canes did not deserve to win that game! Rod put out crap line combo's and only made one adjustment. Since he switched KK and Drury the Canes are 1 and 4. The second line only has 1 5v5 goal. Not Drury's fault as he is the one who scored that one goal and should have been awarded the go ahead goal last night (BAD CALL) but he is NOT a 2C!!! He is a great defensive center. AKA 4th line center. KK creates the plays that end with Necas or Svech/Robinson scoring the goals. KK made two bad plays in one game all year and gets dropped to the 4th line. He then puts a defensive center at 2C. A line that needs to produce. He learned nothing from round 2 of the playoffs!
Man, we go from beating Winnipeg to losing to the Blackhawks. Then from shutting out Carolina then to losing to Pitts. Florida is one helluva rollercoaster lmfao
Buffalo players getting booed by the very few fans that showed up to their game last night. An embarrassment of an effort and that locker room would be so pathetic and sad right now. Nothing to be proud of on that roster
THG,I think, as a jets fan, it's time for a video on their pathetic play lately. They were 15-1, now 18-8. That's 3-7 in their last 10, and a 4 game losing streak, which I called after they lost to LA. Seriously I did. I knew they wouldn't beat vegas, dallas again and the blues with a new coach. And now they play buffalo... I shudder to think how that'll go considering how they lost tonight
BTW You said the early powerplay that turned into 4v4 was for the Sharks, but it was a penalty against the Sharks, that then turned into a 4v4 after a penalty was called on the Caps
Kraken coaches put the forward lines into the blender for the game tonight and it really worked. Not sure how long it will keep working, but after last week, I'll enjoy it while I can.
It helped that the Hurricanes just didn't seem to be playing at all. Don't think there's been a game in a couple years where they shot so few. Kraken did have a couple nice goals though. Baffled how many times they missed that empty net!
GOOD GOAL!!! But the better team won the game. Rod had some jacked up lines as well but only made one adjustment! Rod was oddly out coached last night.
that Canucks game was pretty good. Boys played well against the number one team in the league despite missing some key pieces . Also, The Hockey Guy is awesome . I would say probably the best hockey reviews on TH-cam . John 3:16-18 King James Version 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
I'm a Canes fan and Blues and I hope the blues can pull themselves back into this season and I wish the canes would go after bennington even though thats a hell of a stretch you can still dream right?
Bad line combos with only one adjustment last night by Rod. Since Rod switched KK and Drury the Canes are 1 and 4. The second line has only 1 5v5 goal! He needs to reset the lines back to the win streak lines!
yah lets not, Sabres folded, they were in a ''panic'' and ''lazy'', their words not mine. figure it out boys. Edit: yah shoutout to Wedgewood for stepping in and playing a great game, also Mitts come home brother!
I want to be happy about the pens 4 game winning streak.. but the huge blown leads is beyond anything I’ve ever seen in my life… why they have Grzelcyk out there, the worst defensemen in the world instead of graves is beyond me.. they also need need need to put Puljujarvi back out there.. absolutely no clue why he continues to sit on the bench when he was the best player on our team for a large chunk of this season so far other than Crosby. This winning streak will not continue with these blown leads and horrendous defense and goaltending. I can count on one hand how many games we didn’t let in 3+ goals. Over 100 GA is insane. Blomqvist needs to be in the nhl. He’s better and has a bigger upside than either Jarry and Ned by a large margin
Finally meaningful critique of Pens. Tired of blow it up, they suck, etc. Ya Pens fans aren't use to being sub 500. Yes They may need a move or 2. To move forward
@ and some of the moves are right there in front of their faces, and have actually played for the team this year. Yea, obviously the pens are not a contender and the window is starting to close, but they owe it to Crosby to surround him with the best team possible, and if they don’t have the cap or draft capital to make any big outside moves, they still need to be honest with themselves and play the best players they currently have, and more than anything, continue playing the youth, and not focus solely on their contracts
To be fair, the only defense your Blues team has had the last 3 years IS Binnington! He'd be Vezina candidate if Had more than Parayko. Btw how many goals your team score this year? Ya I thought so
@@nothingbutice3833 I'm not sure what you're chirping for. You guys were the "next big thing" and now the jets are running out of fuel and I called it.
Is it just me or is the Habs becoming a funny team to watch ? Caufield, Suzuki, Slafkovsky, Hutson, now Laine ? Their rebuild is going ok, no matter the results this year...
Jim Montgomery Blues are 3-0-1 against 4 teams that are all in a playoff position. Not saying the blues are winning the cup but keep an eye on those pesky blues.
I’m saying this before watching. I hope I’m wrong but I’m calling it. There have been a few games where the Wild have had really bad luck with either bad calls or overturned goals, but Shannon has never mentioned it during recaps. I’m guessing he mentions that VAN should have had a PP in OT. Hopefully I’m wrong. … Called it. THG is very fair and I love him, but I knew it would be brought up. It should have been a penalty on Kaprizov, but the Wild are still -388 in the bad calls for/against category.
That Laine celly came from the heart.
Ever since their comeback win against Utah, the Sharks have been a legit top 16 team in the league. If you exclude empty net goals, they haven’t lost by more than 2 goals in that span, with an overall record of 10-6-3. Can’t believe how much better the team is since last year.
Yeah it’s incredible honestly
Which begs the question - just how bad was David Quinn as coach.
@poejavelski148 way better record during that time than my jets. Should be #32 on the power rankings
@@heliumtrophy I'm no Quinn lover but you put it on him over the addition of Celebrini, Smith, Toffoli, Walman, Wennburg, etc?

A little bummed the caps lost tonight but HOLY CRAP THE SHARKS DUDE. Seriously guys, be proud of your team.

At least they didn’t wait til the first round of the playoffs to fall apart and give you false hope.
To be fair, Sabres would have never got four goals if Georgiev never started.
😂😂, true
Extremely valid
What a career disaster this game was for him. The guy who just came on a trade due to them not trusting him just looked about 3 levels above him.
I think we as sharks fans expected a better team this year, but Celebrini is just surpassing all our expectations. Some smart moves in the off season and this team could make playoffs next year!
All they really need to do depending one what they do with Granlund is add defense.

Having said that, we had Hockey fights cancer night tonight in Winnipeg so that always puts things into perspective... and to watch the ceremony from Calgary with the Gaudreau family puts it into perspective even more. We love our hockey but some things are more important... so I'm sending my thoughts and prayers for strength to Meredith and the entire Gaudreau family.
Thank you, Shannon.
I wish the Blues had played in the recent home game the way they have in the three road games since Montgomery took over. Still, 7 of 8 points is pretty amazing considering the way they had been playing. Is it just a "coaching bump" or a real lasting change? We'll see. It's certainly stirred interest.
Buffalo, one of those, "we don't work for 60 minutes" teams. Veteran coach? Rookie coach? Doesn't matter, it's all the same to them...
Same old Sabres. This may be the start of the inevitable collapse. I hope I am wrong but I have seen this movie for 13 seasons. This team flirts with .500 so much they should marry it. They never seem to get more than a game or 2 above it.
Thanks for the video! The details of my picks are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? Bruins, yes. Avs, yes. Islanders, nope. Panthers, nope. Caps, nope. Canes, nope. Wild, yes. Jets, nope. Flames, yes. And Knights, yes. So, five out of ten. S Could have flipped a puck. Seemed to be a high amount of goalie interference challenges, most denied and penalized. The Avs comeback was amazing to watch. That sort of heart has playoff deep run potential, IMO. The low scoring of the Oilers-Knights game felt weird. Maybe the Kraken are better than they have been letting on. I was surprised by the amount of Pens scoring but they needed it to beat the champs.
27:47 Note for the VGK Game, Olofsson returned on Saturday's game against Utah, not tonight's game. Otherwise It was a fantastic game to watch in person, definitely got worried in the 3rd period that the Oilers were going to tie the game up.
A Fun stat that Sportsnet brought up after the VGK game was that was the first game since the Maple Leafs vs Black Hawks on Feb. 20, 1944 where there was a game with 0 PIM and 1 goal or fewer and only the 5th time in NHL history.
As an avs fan this proves that the avs offense is still the avs offense and that if we can get even decent goaltending we're going all the way.
Welp I'm back to having no idea what goaltender interference is. This is the third time it's come up in an Avs game, and I was pleasantly surprised that the last two (one for, one against) were at least called consistently. This one was exactly the same situation, but no GI.
Same in the Canes game. Not one has gone the Canes way. Same looking plays but all go against the Canes. Contact is made outside of the paint first by the goaltender. He has lots of time to reset. If anything it helped the goaltender.
very emotional night, I shed more than a few tears. That song that George Canyon sang before the anthems was really nice
The Habs v Isles game was a fun watch. It was nice to see the Habs play with a healthy lineup. They are still not a good team but some of the pieces of a good team are there
PATTY LAINE THE GOAT!!!
That was a very Leafy collapse by the Sabres there
LETS GO BLUES!!!! 3-0-1 under Monty!
@@Yes-uf8yc got lucky they played against 2 heavily struggling teams
That honeymoon will be over soon. Lets go wild.
@@Lukewipf442Theres no easy games but i get your point 😊 blues suck
3 game winning streak
Go Sharks
The caps looked WAY off their game tonight. Not sure why but theyre usually a crsup passing hard forechecking team and it just wasnt gelling tonight against the Sharks. All kudos to San Jose who played a reall nice game hemming a much stronger team in their own end several times and came out with the W
Blackwood kept the game from getting out of hand in the 1st. Thompson stood on his head in the 3rd. It was pretty much a goalie battle.
@MrVisde in a 2-1 OT game, absolutely it was a goalie duel.
Caps haven't been particularly good at home. Most of their losses have come at home even discounting the fact they've played many more home games
As a Canucks fan, I wasn't expecting a win against the wild, that being said I was very impressed by that game, and the road trip as a whole. Hopefully they can bring it home!
And hopefully when Demko comes back Arty can spend time in the AHL getting his confidence back up. I know Lankinen will still be starting at least for awhile when Demko comes back, but currently I think everyone, even the team, is nervous when Arty is in the net unfortunately.
Looking at that Buffalo game I guess that is why you up the score (humiliating the opponent's goalie) even it seems you already won. 😧 Huge momentum shift from the second...
I watched the last 2 periods of the Edmonton - Vegas game. Something I found worth noting, at the end, they showed the time the six Oilers players had stayed on the ice. Most of them had 2+ minutes, RNH had over 3 minutes on the ice to end the game.
Adin Hill making a case to be on team Canada. Vegas destroys my nerves when they play defensive hockey with a one goal lead in the 3rd period lol. Was a good game
Zero penalties in the Vegas/EDM game. Did the referees think it was 2023 playoffs again?
Nice to watch Hofer get the win in Winnipeg (his hometown).
Jets have been quite dreadful lately.
Blue jackets game was hard to watch.
I gave up on buffalo. Trade everyone. Fire everyone. Same thing year after year.
🦈🦈🦈
Totally fair call on Wilson at the end of the Caps game, but it gave the Sharks a one-man advantage for the last two minutes and into overtime. Tough odds there for the Caps. Onward!
When Georgiev gave up 4 so fast I just thought the game was sealed. But I guess being an Avs fan for as long as I have, has tought me nothing about Avs liking comebacks
Imagine if the Avs get a save in the first period……not so many comebacks needed.
Wedgewood played well, knowing he just couldn’t give up a goal.
@@timdowney6721 yeah wedgewood played great. I would love him to be our adin hill but we can't expect him to play like this every night. but if he saved around 90 percent of shots on average we would be contender lol
The first goal shouldn't have counted. 2 he needed to save. 3rd maybe could have saved without his own guy screening. And 4th, he needed to save.
Johnny Hockey 👏 👏 👏👏👏
As a caps fans the sharks looked very impressive and more entertaining in years. Blackwood played really good too. I can’t help but think we just had an off night, but the sharks are a decent team and are beating really good ones.
I think no matter what the Sharks do in the next two games, they should leave the bottom row of the Power Rankings. At least do it for one week.
Worst overturned goal for "Interference" I've seen in a while in that Kraken/Hurricanes game. Add that the to rush that Seattle got for their first goal because the ref tripped one of the Hurricanes and I think the refs had a better game than the Kraken
You guys put barely any shots on net, it was your lowest count in like 4 years or something. If you're going to play the blame game blame your offensive production.
I'm a Canes fan. Yes both bad calls but the Canes did not deserve to win that game! Rod put out crap line combo's and only made one adjustment. Since he switched KK and Drury the Canes are 1 and 4. The second line only has 1 5v5 goal. Not Drury's fault as he is the one who scored that one goal and should have been awarded the go ahead goal last night (BAD CALL) but he is NOT a 2C!!! He is a great defensive center. AKA 4th line center. KK creates the plays that end with Necas or Svech/Robinson scoring the goals. KK made two bad plays in one game all year and gets dropped to the 4th line. He then puts a defensive center at 2C. A line that needs to produce. He learned nothing from round 2 of the playoffs!
Fire Lou
The best seats at KeyBank Center are in the visitor's dressing room.
I don't know if the Blues can claw their way up to a playoff spot, but what I do know is games have been a lot more fun to watch this past week
Man, we go from beating Winnipeg to losing to the Blackhawks. Then from shutting out Carolina then to losing to Pitts. Florida is one helluva rollercoaster lmfao
Buffalo players getting booed by the very few fans that showed up to their game last night. An embarrassment of an effort and that locker room would be so pathetic and sad right now. Nothing to be proud of on that roster
Oh well, we can’t win every game on the road. Sucks about lanks record, but it’s a hell of a record ✅
Nice jersey! 👍
Detroit got hosed by the refs twice that lead to goals for Boston.
THG,I think, as a jets fan, it's time for a video on their pathetic play lately. They were 15-1, now 18-8. That's 3-7 in their last 10, and a 4 game losing streak, which I called after they lost to LA. Seriously I did. I knew they wouldn't beat vegas, dallas again and the blues with a new coach. And now they play buffalo... I shudder to think how that'll go considering how they lost tonight
Thank you.
Please THG, make a Bettman phonecall on the upcoming CBA talks
Nice ... THG repping my Avs tonight .
Johnny Gaudreau was first star 😭
Blues 3-0-1 under Monty and beating Solid teams..
BTW You said the early powerplay that turned into 4v4 was for the Sharks, but it was a penalty against the Sharks, that then turned into a 4v4 after a penalty was called on the Caps
3-0-1 under Montgomery in St. Louis. It's a small sample size, but I really wonder if Bannister was the issue.
Kraken coaches put the forward lines into the blender for the game tonight and it really worked. Not sure how long it will keep working, but after last week, I'll enjoy it while I can.
It helped that the Hurricanes just didn't seem to be playing at all. Don't think there's been a game in a couple years where they shot so few. Kraken did have a couple nice goals though. Baffled how many times they missed that empty net!
GOOD GOAL!!! But the better team won the game. Rod had some jacked up lines as well but only made one adjustment! Rod was oddly out coached last night.
Love NHL “Ganes”
Wild first in the NHL. Merrill needs to get sent down. He is nothing more than a liability on defense. Go Wild!
What happened to the Jets? 3-7-0 in the last 10 games.
that Canucks game was pretty good. Boys played well against the number one team in the league despite missing some key pieces . Also, The Hockey Guy is awesome . I would say probably the best hockey reviews on TH-cam .

I'm a Canes fan and Blues and I hope the blues can pull themselves back into this season and I wish the canes would go after bennington even though thats a hell of a stretch you can still dream right?
Bad line combos with only one adjustment last night by Rod. Since Rod switched KK and Drury the Canes are 1 and 4. The second line has only 1 5v5 goal! He needs to reset the lines back to the win streak lines!
Wondering when Connor Hughes get his opportunity to be in net for the Habs.
yah lets not, Sabres folded, they were in a ''panic'' and ''lazy'', their words not mine. figure it out boys. Edit: yah shoutout to Wedgewood for stepping in and playing a great game, also Mitts come home brother!
Pasternak did not trip Debrincat. He lost balance grabbing Pasta's stick. I was mad at the goal, mainly because it happened.
That was a pretty blatant trip in OT, but nonetheless successful road trip for the Canucks.
That was a pretty blatant cross-check in the back against Erickson-Eck, right in front of the official, that wasn't called also...
Buffalo blew a 4-0 lead for the first time since 1988, when I was negative three years old. Embarrassing loss, heads need to roll in Buffalo.
Florida, Carolina, and Washington all getting upset tonight
GOOD GOAL but the Canes looked like crap and deserved that loss. ROD Brind'Amour.....Drury is NOT a 2C!!!
I want to be happy about the pens 4 game winning streak.. but the huge blown leads is beyond anything I’ve ever seen in my life… why they have Grzelcyk out there, the worst defensemen in the world instead of graves is beyond me.. they also need need need to put Puljujarvi back out there.. absolutely no clue why he continues to sit on the bench when he was the best player on our team for a large chunk of this season so far other than Crosby. This winning streak will not continue with these blown leads and horrendous defense and goaltending. I can count on one hand how many games we didn’t let in 3+ goals. Over 100 GA is insane. Blomqvist needs to be in the nhl. He’s better and has a bigger upside than either Jarry and Ned by a large margin
Finally meaningful critique of Pens. Tired of blow it up, they suck, etc. Ya Pens fans aren't use to being sub 500. Yes They may need a move or 2. To move forward
@ and some of the moves are right there in front of their faces, and have actually played for the team this year. Yea, obviously the pens are not a contender and the window is starting to close, but they owe it to Crosby to surround him with the best team possible, and if they don’t have the cap or draft capital to make any big outside moves, they still need to be honest with themselves and play the best players they currently have, and more than anything, continue playing the youth, and not focus solely on their contracts
It’s funny how Calgary and Vancouver are opposite lol Vancouver great on the road and Calgary great at home 😂
Where's all the jets fans bragging? See your team is nothing without your goalie.
Isn't the goalie a part of the team?
To be fair, the only defense your Blues team has had the last 3 years IS Binnington! He'd be Vezina candidate if Had more than Parayko. Btw how many goals your team score this year? Ya I thought so
Be nice. They live in Winnipeg and a long cold winter is just starting. And they have to endure it all without toasted ravioli and gooey butter cake.
@@nothingbutice3833 I'm not sure what you're chirping for. You guys were the "next big thing" and now the jets are running out of fuel and I called it.
@@jackjax532 it's the reason the Jets are having the season they are having
Is it just me or is the Habs becoming a funny team to watch ? Caufield, Suzuki, Slafkovsky, Hutson, now Laine ? Their rebuild is going ok, no matter the results this year...
As a Canes fan I would love to see the Habs get Ryan Suzuki from the Canes. The Canes are waisting him in the AHL. Ryan should be in the NHL!!!!
The 10 Sabres fans left in the stands were not happy
Jim Montgomery Blues are 3-0-1 against 4 teams that are all in a playoff position. Not saying the blues are winning the cup but keep an eye on those pesky blues.
I’m saying this before watching. I hope I’m wrong but I’m calling it.
There have been a few games where the Wild have had really bad luck with either bad calls or overturned goals, but Shannon has never mentioned it during recaps. I’m guessing he mentions that VAN should have had a PP in OT. Hopefully I’m wrong.
… Called it. THG is very fair and I love him, but I knew it would be brought up. It should have been a penalty on Kaprizov, but the Wild are still -388 in the bad calls for/against category.
Most humiliating loss of the season so far.......
